Your Saturday Stoic Review — Week of January 29 - February 4

​ ​ PASSAGE OF THE WEEK: Jealousy and envy rarely see the full picture, rarely take into account the costs—past and future—that go along with something. Besides, it's pointless. We have our life. Our fate. We have our own happiness to attend to. Read: This Is Why You Shouldn't Be Jealous​ YOUTUBE TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK: ​ In a recent video on the Daily Stoic YouTube Channel, Ryan Holiday and Robert Greene sat down at the historic Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles, California to talk about how success can poison the ego, why death was so present in the ancient world, and the tragedy of not studying the past (P.S. Ryan will be doing two LIVE events in Australia this summer, learn more and purchase tickets here): "History is a compendium of all of the most incredible human mistakes ever made. It's a compendium of human stupidity. There's so much to learn from that. And to ignore that incredible wealth that's sitting before you is, to me, kind of tragic."

So the external world is happening — it could be thumps up or thumbs down, cheering, booing, whatever. All that is noise to the signal and the signal is 'was I true to my thoughts, my words, my actions?' 'Was I true to my first principles?' 'Did I bring my best efforts into this?'"
